Sounds like you might have a dodgy output jack in your bass. If you don't know how to take a look at it you will want to take it in to a tech.
It takes a while to break in new strings. You can speed this up by loosening your tension 1 turn of the tuning machine, pulling on the string firmly, tighten 1/4 of a turn, pull on the string, repeat, repeat, tune. Pull the string firmly but do not try and use it like a bow and arrow!
